Equality NC

Equality NC is a statewide group dedicated to securing equal rights and justice for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people. We work toward that goal by effectively lobbying the North Carolina General Assembly, executive branch, and local governments on issues like inclusive anti-bullying policies, employment discrimination, hate violence, privacy rights, sexuality education, adoption, domestic partnership, HIV/AIDS, and more. We also work to engage North Carolinians with educational programming and outreach efforts.

Coalition to Protect NC Families

We are husbands, mothers, brothers, sisters, friends—and we are all concerned North Carolinians. And while we may come from different backgrounds, we’ve come together for a common purpose: to defeat Amendment One. Our goal is to give voice to the families, individuals, and organizations working to protect ALL North Carolinians.
